Experimental quantum cryptography with single photons and imperfect devices
Aodhán Corrigan, Koray Kaymazlar, Zhiyao Wang +9
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows for provably secure key distribution between two trusted parties. Because the security and performance of QKD protocols rely on devices that b…
Single-Photon Advantage in Quantum Cryptography Beyond QKD
Daniel A. Vajner, Koray Kaymazlar, Fenja Drauschke +8
Quantum key distribution (QKD) can be used to establish a secret key between trusted parties. Many practical use-cases in communication networks, however, involve parties who do no…
